Question : 11 [SSC CGL Prelim 2007]
At what rate per annum will Rs.32000 yield a compound interest of Rs.5044 in 9 months interest being compounded quarterly ?
a) 80%
b) 20%
c) 50%
d) 32%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
Let the rate of CI be R per cent per annum.
CI = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
5044 = 32000$[(1 + R/400)^3 - 1]$
[Since, Interest is compounded quarterly]
$5044/32000 = (1 + R/400)^3 - 1$
$(1 + R/400)^3 - 1 = 1261/8000$
$(1 + R/400)^3 = 1 + 1261/8000$
$(1 + R/400)^3 = 9261/8000 = (21/20)^3$
1 + $R/400 = 21/20$
$R/400 = 21/20 - 1 = 1/20$
R = $400/20$ = 20
Question : 12 [SSC CPO S.I.2005]
A sum of money on compound interest amounts to Rs.10648 in 3 years and Rs.9680 in 2 years. The rate of interest per annum is :
a) 20%
b) 5%
c) 15%
d) 10%
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
Let the sum be P and rate of interest be R% per annum. Then,
$P(1 + R/100)^2 = 9680$ ...(i)
$P(1 + R/100)^3 = 10648$ ...(ii)
On dividing equation (ii) by (i)
$1 + R/100 = 10648/9680$
$R/100 = 10648/9680$ -1
= ${10648 - 9680}/9680$
$R/100 = 968/9680 = 1/10$
R = $1/10 × 100$ = 10%
Question : 13 [SSC MTS 2013]
In what time will Rs.1000 becomes Rs.1331 at 10% per annum compounded annually ?
a) 3$1/2$ years
b) 3 years
c) 2 years
d) 2$1/2$ years
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
Let the required time be n years.
Then,
1331 = 1000$(1 + 10/100)^n$
[$P_1 = P(1+ r/100)^n$]
$1331/1000 = ({10 + 1}/10)^n$
$(11/10)^n = (11/10)^3$
n = 3
Question : 14 [SSC CPO S.I.2006]
The compound interest on Rs.16,000 for 9 months at 20% per annum, interest being compounded quarterly, is
a) Rs.2,518
b) Rs.2,520
c) Rs.2,522
d) Rs.2,524
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
The interest is compounded quarterly.
R = $20/4$ = 5%
Time = 3 quarters
C.I. = P$[(1 + R/100)^T - 1]$
= 16000$[(1 + 5/100)^3 - 1]$
= $16000[(21/20)^3 - 1]$
= $16000({9261 - 8000}/8000)$
= $16000 × 1261/8000$ = Rs.2522
Question : 15 [SSC Sub-Inspector 2012]
A sum of Rs.8000 will amount to Rs.8820 in 2 years if the interest is calculated every year. The rate of compound interest is
a) 5%
b) 6%
c) 3%
d) 7%
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
If the rate of C.I. be r% per annum, then
A = P$(1 + R/100)^T$
8820 = 8000$(1 + r/100)^2$
$8820/8000 = (1 + r/100)^2$
$441/400 = (21/20)^2 = (1 + r/100)^2$
$1 + r/100 = 21/20$
$r/100 = 21/20 - 1 = 1/20$
r = $1/20$ × 100
r = 5% per annum
